Post by: zyphoid on May 02, 2007, 06:22:28 PM

Did anyone ever figure out how to get wireless pci cards to work in an amiga towered set up or even wrote drivers?  I got one in my mediator but who knows if elbox will ever support such products.  BTW it is a linksys wireless g powered up, sitting.....wwaiting...... Anyone??? :-?

check out prism2 (http://aminet.net/hard/drivr/prism2.lha) on aminet. The docs have a list of supported cards and a link to a site with more info on supported cards. But I don't know if Mediator is supported, IIRC there was some support for it on openpci sometime ago...
Doesn't hurt trying...

Prism2.device only support PCMCIA cards in classic Amigas, and PCI cards in Prometheus-equipped classic Amigas. No Mediator support.

Ok, I stand corrected then, I thought it supported the Prometheus through OpenPCI...

Probably not, but just out of curiosity has anyone tried to get to to work with G-Rex and a PCI card?

That'd be something neat for me to try.

I'm thinking that we need a separate program and the driver to work with the mediator.  Kind of like the tv card programs and drivers although I never got that going either!! :-D
